I would make the distinction between a high crime area and an area that has been abandoned with row after row of abandoned properties slated for demolition however both would have challenges to an investor.

Because Texas with its distinctive culture and its size, is a very influential state in the country n it tilts to the right n liberals don’t like competition, so they would love to have Texas go the way of NY and CA, they would love other states too but Texas is the big prize.

Account Closed is also correct in that it has the flavor of a one property REIT.  

Hosting someone on Airbnb vs. renting to someone is a distinction without a difference in my mind.

@Matthew Stoughton There is a BP Meetup sponsored by the wildly handsome and distinctly articulate @Phillip Dwyer in Henderson next week, 1-30-14, 7:00 PM at nacho Daddy's just off the 215 and Easter.

Donald on BiggerPockets, we're not politicians here.I happened to be of the opinion that interest earned by professional private lenders or hard money lenders is ordinary income for their lending businesses (as in "in the business of lending money"), as distinct from portfolio income on passive investments and casual loans.Eamonn - please correct me if I'm wrong and explain how would you classify the income and expenses of a HM lender, let's say operating as a partnership. 

What is Distinct About Sellers in these Areas, should anything be handled differently/specifically?

., all have very distinct issues that need to be addresses and resolved if the underlying investors want to go separate directions with different goals and objectives in the future (such as a 1031 Exchange). 

(The distinction is someone can say they don't have any pets....but guess what....they may have a "service animal").

So, a distinction should at least be understood that when a lender accepts payments from a buyer under an installment purchase agreement, that such acceptance is not a loan assumption per se, it is simply allowing a third party to make payments in the name of or for the benefit of the borrower but the loan remains in the original borrower's name, fully liable and without any requirement made by the lender to collect anything from that third party.So, as a new investor, when you walk into a bank and put your business plan on the loan officer's desk, look him in the eye and say, "I have a deal and I would like to assume theseller's loan" you'll at least know how silly you sound to the loan officer, what it is you are actually asking the bank to do!
